Cashier tried twice and the register didn't take it.And it shouldn't have, since that camera is on sale, not clearance.You just never know with Staples what is enforced by the register and what is left to the cashier to enforce.

The camera must be an item sold in the store.. If they don't have it in the store.. You can buy it at a kiosk, from the Staples.com site and pay for it in-store and the coupon will be applied.. The coupon won't apply to a camera that is ONLY sold on the website.. The A4000 clearly says ONLINE ONLY - on the website.. http://www.staples.com/Canon-PowerShot-A4000-IS-Digital-Cameras/...

right, but any use of the coupon on items outside the T&C of the coupon are strictly YMMV and unlikely. People should not be posting up the "coupon doesn't work" as if it's some sort of an error or false claim by Staples. It wasn't supposed to work on those items, if by some miracle it did, consider yourself lucky, but don't be upset if it does not.

GUYS...GUYS... I know it says the coupon is for "clearance and regular-priced cameras only"... but I need to know WILL IT WORK FOR CAMERAS ON SALE, ANYWAY???! omg, I need to know.

I snagged a Canon SX40 for $244.00 plus tax $259.00 at Office Depot. One store said that $349 was the regular price. They only had the floor model available. So I had another OD hold the camera for me only to find out that the $349.00 was on sale. Cashier had the mangaer to override with no problems. So $259 out the door!

The thread is unclear if it will/should work on sale items that are stocked normally in the store. Just a few posts after the post you link to...

"The camera must be an item sold in the store.. If they don't have it in the store.. You can buy it at a kiosk, from the Staples.com site and pay for it in-store and the coupon will be applied..

It says what it will work for, but does not clearly state not for sale items as well. Given how Staples coupons are often written this makes the actual intent, much less what the store staff will do somewhat unclear. I have reserved a canon t3 on sale to try it, but may not get to the store till tomorrow evening or Friday, when I do I will post. I would also like to hear others experience on sale items SOLD IN STORE and not ONLINE ONLY.

I thought it would be understood I was just playing around due to the other comments asking if it applies to cameras on sale.

Of course it says clearance and regular only.

Can anyone post a PDF of the original coupon? The only valid link I can find, now is for clearance, and demo cameras, not the previous clearance, and regular priced cameras.

Of course it says clearance and regular only. There is a very fine line between satire and clueless, especially when there are many examples of the latter here during the holiday season. If you had put a on the first post it would have been clearer.

It says that on the website, but my local store had a promotional card for it in the camera area... don't know if they actually had any cameras.

I ended up cancelling my camera order at Staples because an offer at Amazon that was better for my needs showed up at Amazon.However in my looking I see at least one person at another deals website I visit was able to use the coupon for items online and paid for in store. It seems the coupon is often accepted for sale items, not always...

At my store in Boston ma they had a Nikon 3100 kit for 479 on sale, with 30% off that would be the best deal I have seen for that. I needed a canon for compatibility.

Best of luck.

credit to bostonfever at sd "Staples 30% off all Cameras, Online and Instore: t3i = $420This has been posted, but methods and use is not clear at all.

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY 12/8/2012

Excludes Vivitar.

Just got a Lumix GF3 for $280 normally 400 at Staples, or 340 anywhere else.

T3I = $420

Any camera on the Staples website is eligible as long as it is instock and is not vivitar. Just checkout, and select the "pay at register" option. Go into a store and hand them your coupon, their is NO override needed, or any push through. It works seamlessly.(I had the store manager help me with it because I did the order at the Staples store kiosk and it would not print out the paper.) But he asked no questions, read the coupon in full, and just typed the 5 digit number into the register and it auto discounted 30%.
